Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened Rocky Linux 8.6 image, billed only while an instance runs. Pricing is not tiered. Instead, each rate maps to a specific Amazon EC2 instance type. The software fee changes with the instance you pick, and larger or more capable instance families carry different hourly rates. Options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, accelerated-computing, and bare-metal instance types across many sizes. You choose the instance that fits your workload, then run it as long as needed. AWS infrastructure charges apply separately from this software fee.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running Amazon EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. Each rate matches a specific instance type, such as a general-purpose, compute-optimized, or bare-metal size. You pay the software fee for each hour that instance runs, counted separately per instance you launch.
The hourly software fee meters running time only. A stopped or terminated instance stops accruing this charge. Note that AWS may still bill separately for attached storage while an instance is stopped, but that is an AWS infrastructure charge, not the software fee on this listing.
Yes. The software fee is tied to the instance type you choose, so the hourly rate changes when you switch. Larger or more capable instance families carry different rates. Moving a workload to another size means the new instance's rate applies for the hours it runs.
